Is 1T ECONOMY?


We are very much afraid our County
Commissioners, i'm their efforts to be eco
nOmical with the county money, will lay
themselves liable to the charge of penu-
riOusness. In cutting down the pay of ju-
rors they have committed an act question
pie are taxed for the support of the courts,
and while dollar day is ample compen-
Sation for jurors out of business and living
contiguous to the court house, the poor one
horse farmer who lives from twelve to
eighteen miles off, who stops his only pillow,
comes here and has to pay his hotel and
stable bill is brought in debt. 1t was not
the intention of the law to make jury ser
vice very lucrative business, nor do we
presume it intended its servants should be
made losers. as by the action of our Com
missioners, many of them will be. But
having started by stopping the leakage al
the ''sple,' we trust they will not overlook
''the bung." Verbuns sat sdpieati.

Yet the English currency circulation for
the current year is reported at only about
S2l per capita an increase of only per
cent since 1884. The German currency
has increased in the same period 10 per

about SIG per capita. All these facts
